Omen - A KTM Replacement

[Redgar]

I found this mod a couple of months ago and it is indeed a better KTM.

To put it briefy, it looks better, and does a better job of showing threat than KTM does, and does one thing that KTM can't, and that is handle multiple mobs.

I endorse this mod. I've heard from multiple sources now that its superior to KTM.

So, are we going to do a guild switch? Doesn't make sense for us to have a mix of both, IMO.

we should definitely phase in Omen.

Sure! Omen gets along well with KTM. You will receive threat data from groupmates running KTM, and any group mates running KTM will receive KTM-compatible partial data from Omen.
Omen is intended to be a KTM replacement, but there are obviously transitory periods for any raiding group.


As a GUI for Threat-1.0, Omen gains all of its power and features, including:

• Multi-mob threat tracking. Omen shows a threat list for the mob that you have targeted, which allows you to maintain a reasonable idea of your threat level against any given target in a multi-mob encounter. This isn't possible for meters that only report aggregate threat.
• Automatic boss encounter threat management. Encounters with threat wipes are handled automatically, and ensure that your threat lists stay relevant and usable.
• No "bleed-over" threat from player-player damage. Unlike aggregate meters, Omen won't report incorrect threat levels for Shatter, Static Charge, and other player-inflicted damage.
• Lean and mean. Threat and Omen are both written for speed and efficiency, and consume only trivial amounts of system resources.

Features include:

• Fully configurable display, which allows you to change virtually all colors, textures, and sizes, letting you customize the meter to fit into your UI as you best see fit.
• Class filtering, allowing you to ignore classes whose threat you aren't interested in.
• Absolute threat, relative threat percentage, and threat-per-second (TPS) values
• Aggro gain indicator to help you see when you might pull (or lose) aggro.
• Pull-out threat bars that allow you to compare your threat level against a tank's threat level in single, easy-to-understand bar format. No more scanning a list of 25 people to ensure you stay below a tank - just pull off their bar from the main display and you can monitor your threat level versus theirs to ensure that you stay safe.
• Optional display for threat values from KLH Threat Meter, so that even if your groupmates are not using Omen, you can still see approximate threat from them. Please be aware that as KTM is an aggregate meter and not aware of multiple targets, any values from it will be incorrect in any multi-mob encounter beyond the first mob.

Sounds like a GM directive to me. Making the update now...

[Myrkris]

Cool, I didn't expect them to use data from each other. That'll make this relatively painless.

Omen rocks hard indeed.

We've been playing with it today here at work - it tracks Threat on EVERY target in play separately, and it's Threat table & bars display switches as you switch targets.

ROX!

Thanks for bringing this up Red!

Welcome. I thought I had mentioned it here before, but a search revealed nada.

As is in the Wiki, and mentioned, the ability of it to track multiple mobs and adjust the bars just flat out rocks. The only downside, but there is nothing (yet perhaps) to be done about it, is mobs with the same name and level. The game itself doesn't differentiate between the two well at all.

Simply, it is the best damn threat meter out there.

[Mudsloth]

converted. Will be testing tonight.

mee to will see how it works so if anyone want to do BM lets do it
